The U.S. Senate on Wednesday demonstrated its support for President Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran by voting against a resolution aimed at halting unauthorized hostilities.
The resolution, led by Democrats, sought congressional approval for continued military actions. However, the final tally showed 51 senators opposing the measure while 47 supported it.
Almost all Republicans sided with Trump, reflecting a significant partisan divide over the war powers resolution.
